Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a mobile terminal, a base station device, and a mobile communication system.
  • the base station has a cell, which is a range within which the base station may communicate with mobile terminals.
  • the mobile terminal moves from the cell of the base station with which the mobile terminal is communicating to the cell of another base station, handover from the base station involved in the current communication to another base station is conducted.
  • the mobile terminal periodically searches for cells in proximity to the cell to which the mobile terminal belongs (cell search).
  • the mobile terminal communicates with the base station that has a cell having a good reception level on the basis of the results of the cell search.
  • Patent Document 1 There is known an art of changing the period of the cell search on the basis of determining whether the mobile terminal remains in the current cell (see Patent Document 1). There is known another art of shortening the period of the cell search in such a manner that the base station stores information about a spread signal and a phase corresponding to the base station beforehand (see Patent Document 2). There is known a further art of notifying the mobile terminal of results of past learning about failure of handoff by the base station and performing the cell search based on the results of the past learning (see Patent Document 3).
  • the cell search is conducted while stopping communications between the base station and the mobile terminals.
  • the mobile terminal, the base station device and the mobile communication system described in the description were made taking the above problems into consideration and aim at improving the cell search period.
  • UK patent publication GB2358992A discloses a mobile communication device which, when performing a cell search for a perch channel, may use information determined from a previous connection in order to reduce the time taken to perform the search. For example a previously determined perch channel spread code or the timing offset between different cells may be used if a predetermined time since the last communication has not been exceeded.
  • European patent publication EP0905923A2 discloses a terminal in a wireless telephone system which can search for available base stations. Communication of user information between a base station and a terminal is intermittently performed in a predetermined time slot period. The transmission and reception of user information at the terminal are stopped at once in a plurality of predetermined time slot periods in such intermittent communication. The cell search for receiving a frequency channel in which control information is transmitted from the base station is performed, so that available base stations are searched. The number of cell search periods can be increased or decreased from time to time.
  • the present invention provides a mobile terminal, a base station device, and a mobile communication system, as defined in the appended claims, to which reference should now be made.
  • the cell search period may be set suitably.
  • FIG. 1 is a diagram of a cell arrangement in a mobile communication system in accordance with a comparative example.
  • a mobile terminal MS is located in cells C1, C2 and C3 corresponding to base stations BS1, BS2 and BS3, respectively.
  • the base stations BS1, BS2 and BS3 transmit radio signals using frequencies f1, f2 and f2', respectively.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates the electric field intensities for the frequencies in the situation illustrated in FIG. 1 .
  • the base stations BS1, BS2 and BS3 transmit signals used for measuring the qualities of radio communications with an almost identical transmission power.
  • the mobile terminal MS Since the distances between the mobile terminal MS and the base stations BS1, BS2 and BS3 are almost equal to each other, the electric field intensities at the frequencies f1, f2 and f2' are almost equal to each other. As in the case of FIG. 1 , in the case where the base stations BS1, BS2 and BS3 employ the different frequencies for communicating with the mobile terminal MS, the mobile terminal MS stops communicating with the base station BS1 and changes the frequency from f1 to f2 and f2' for cell search.
  • FIG. 3 is a diagram that depicts operations of the mobile terminal MS.
  • the left-to-right direction indicates the passage of time.
  • time is represented by the number of frames. That is, the period for cell search is represented by the number of frames in the cell search.
  • the base station BS1 which is communicating with the mobile terminal MS, conducts negotiation with the mobile terminal MS, and notifies the mobile terminal MS of the cell search start timing and the cell search time (period).
  • the time (period) for cell search corresponds to 15 frames
  • the time (period) for normal communication between the base station BS1 and the mobile terminal MS corresponds to 35 frames.
  • the cell search is periodically conducted. Of course, times (periods) different from those described above may be employed.
  • the mobile terminal MS receives signals transmitted by the base stations BS2 and BS3 that form the cells in proximity to the cell of the base station BS1 with which the mobile terminal MS is communicating, and searches for the cell that has the best receiving condition (for example, the highest electric field intensity).
  • the mobile terminal MS communicates with the base station BS1.
  • the mobile terminal MS reports the communication qualities of the base stations BS2 and BS3 to the base station BS1.
  • FIG. 2 when the electric field intensities resulting from the base stations BS1 and BS2 are almost equal to each other, an almost equal number of frames for cell search may be required for the base stations BS2 and BS3.
  • FIG. 3 it is enough to employ a constant number of frames for cell search by the mobile terminal MS.
  • FIG. 4 is a diagram of a cell arrangement.
  • the base stations BS1, BS2 and BS3 have a large cell overlapping area.
  • the radio area C2 (C3) of the base station BS2 (or BS3) is greater than the radio area C1 of the base station BS1.
  • the operators of the base stations BS1 and BS2 (BS3) may be different from each other and employed values of transmission power may be different from each other.
  • FIG. 5 illustrates the electric fields related to the respective frequencies in the case of the cell arrangement in FIG. 4 .
  • the electric fields of the base stations BS2 and BS3 that respectively use the frequencies f2 and f2' for communications are greater than the electric field of the base station BS1 that is communicating with the mobile terminal MS at the frequency f1.
  • the number of frames required for cell search relates to the electric field from the base station. For instance, in a case where the electric field from the base station is weak, the time for pulling in synchronization and the time for averaging directed to improving the measurement accuracy may be lengthened. In the cell arrangement illustrated in FIGs. 4 and 5 , the number of frames required for cell search may be smaller than that in the cell arrangement in FIGs. 1 and 2 . However, as illustrated in FIG. 3 , in the case where the number of frames for cell search is fixed, the number of frames for cell search is determined so as to be suitable for the bases station having a relatively small electric field. Thus, some frames may be excessive when the cell search is conducted for the base station having a relatively large electric field.
